GLOCK 19 Gen4

The GLOCK 19 Gen4 is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol that utilizes a short-recoil operation alongside GLOCK's "safe action" system of three passive, independently-operating safeties. Chambered for the venerable 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge and widely regarded as one of the industry's most successful designs, this compact pistol is perfect for any shooting application, from concealed carry and personal protection to recreational shooting and much more. Prospective buyers should enjoy the fact that each pistol ships inside of a plastic GLOCK carrying case, and includes: two 15-round magazines, a magazine loader and three interchangeable backstraps.

Details

Military and law enforcement officers the world over put their lives on the line every day, which requires a service pistol that is safe, reliable, accurate and easy to use. It should come as no surprise then that approximately 65 percent of law enforcement officers in the United States choose GLOCK, as those qualities are the hallmarks of the brand.

GLOCK, named for its founder Gaston Glock, is an Austrian-based arms manufacturer that dates back to 1963. Famous for its line of striker-fired polymer-framed pistols, GLOCK also manufactures a wide range of knives, entrenching tools and tactical apparel. As noted, GLOCK pistols are a favorite among domestic and foreign national armed forces, law enforcement agencies and civilians – revered for their simplicity and dependability, among other things. Though the original GLOCK 17 debuted just 20 years ago, the name carries a strong reputation that is among the most trusted in its industry. Now, with the introduction of the Gen4 line, GLOCK seeks to build upon their reputation for perfection.

As noted, the GLOCK 19 Gen4 is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol that is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge. The GLOCK 19 features a 4.01-inch barrel and an overall length of 7.28 inches. Weighing in at just 20.99 ounces unloaded, its light weight combines perfectly with an ergonomic profile that makes carrying this compact pistol a non-issue. A trigger pull of approximately 5 1/2 pounds is joined by a trigger travel of just half an inch to provide for an unmatched performance right out of the box. You may also be pleased to hear that the pistol has an effective range of 50 m, which is well over the typical range for self-defense, and also features adjustable sights that consist of a ramped front sight and a notched rear sight – perfect for acquiring targets quickly and easily. As noted, each pistol ships with two 15-round magazines.

Like all other GLOCK pistols, the GLOCK 19 Gen4 features the “safe action” system, which consists of three passive, independently-operating mechanical safeties. What truly makes the pistol special, however, are the redesigned components characteristic of the Gen4 line. The first is the inclusion of a modular backstrap system, which includes three interchangeable backstraps that allow shooters to instantaneously modify their pistols to adapt it to their specific needs. An enlarged reversible magazine catch makes the GLOCK pistol user-friendly for both left- and right-handed shooters. Internally, the original recoil spring has been replaced with a dual recoil spring assembly, which both reduces felt recoil while extending the overall life of the assembly. Finally, the stippling on the frame has been completely overhauled. The new Rough Textured Frame (RTF) surface has been redesigned to offer the shooter enhanced grip traction. This stippling is found on both the grip and each interchangeable backstrap.

I own this Glock gen 4. It's very reliable accurate and not too heavy, Its a little different feel from the previous gen but you can never go wrong with this brand, I know they have a conversion that you can also change barrel and shoot .22 LR out of it which would be great.
